Downloading patches from Metalink - OUI patch 2878462

Having problems downloading this patch for the Universal Installer (9i).

Metalink shows this patch as being 45Mb. However the .zip file downloads as 17Mb. When I attempt to unzip it - I get errors that the file is corrupt. Downloaded it twice now - both times with sizes of around 17Mb, but the zip files are of different sizes.

I have attempted to FTP direct from updates.oracle.com but when I connect (successfully) the connection is immediately closed as I am in the '/' root directory when the process attempts to list files there. How can I FTP to the directory with patch 2878462 in? I don't get chance to cd as the connection closes.

I'm using CuteFTP for this.

Alternatively - has anyone successfully downloaded the patch direct from Metalink? How big is the .zip file?

Once you get into updates.oracle.com, you have to cd directly to your patch number before you can list files:
